I hate to say it but advanced stats would tell you Jake has been unlucky so far and should have a much higher BA and SLG% than he has to go with what's rated as excellent defense. He's not my favorite Astros but he needs consistent ABs to see if his actual production can start to match his expected production.


I'm ok with Jake. I just think Dubon provides more value and should see 3-4 at bats 3 out of every 4 days. And he always seems to do better when he plays more regularly.
"H-A: In return for the flattery, can you reduce the size of your signature? It's the only part of your posts that don't add value. In its' place, just put "I'm an investing savant, and make no apologies for it", as oldarmy1 would do."

When is Pena going to move up in the order? I feel like he should be before McCormick

We gotta stop overreacting to a small sample. Chas has been above average for 3 seasons. Pena has never had more than small stretches. Just because has been hot for x time doesn't mean they'll be hot moving forward.

I think one of the big issues with Pena last year was moving him around the order so much and the inconsistency of where he batted. If he's working really well in the seven hole then I'd like to keep him there for as long as possible until it doesn't work anymore.

Chas only had 2023 where his OPS was significantly more than Pena. So was 2023 an anomaly or will that be what he is doing forward?

Pena seems to have higher potential, imho....but sure, no need to rush things

I'm curious if we aren't wearing the Space City uniforms because it's Jackie Robinson Day or if Fanatics couldn't get us our Space City uniforms with #42s in time.

Pretty close if you remove the outlier year for Chas

The sample size isn't exactly large for both

Got through 1. So no 135 ERA tonight.

I'll be thrilled with 5 IP and no more than 3 runs.

So could they not have put the 42 on the space city?

They promoted space city Monday on the promotions list and ticketing even with it being Jackie day
